Char-Broil 8113308 Bistro Pro Electric Grill, Gray

The Bistro Pro is a great grill for a small patio or yard. The electric heating elements heat up quickly and cooks evenly. Using wood chips or grill seasoning helps add back and flavor that's missing from gas flames or charcoal... but for added flavor, this grill can also burns charcoal! We haven't used charcoal in it yet, but we look forward to trying it and for the added convenience of having the electric burner auto-light the charcoal.

Love this grill! We had our other bistro for years, but recently upgraded after a patio redo. This grill is the perfect size for my space. The grill cooks great and is big enough for all the meats and veggies you want.

Perfect size - electric controls make it so easy to grill, griddle, and cook anything. I bought a cast iron smoker box and have been slow smoking all kinds of food, too - including a large turkey (practicing for Thanksgiving!)

Ive tried both the electric and charcoal. It is nice to have something efficient that is easy to clean.

Grill cooks great and holds more than expected.

After several uses of my new grill, I find it adequate for all of our uses. We have had success grilling steaks, brats, hot dogs, summer squash, and burgers. Everything cooked thoroughly and had nice grill marks. I really like the built-in digital thermometer. I had one flair up problem when a glob of garlic butter fell through the grill, which was easy to control with my spray bottle of water. The grease trap works easily. Cleaning the grill after each use is easy. I would recommend it to anyone. My last CharBroil grillmaster 9000 lasted about 30 years and hopefully this grill will last me the rest of my life. I have not used the charcoal feature, yet. But look forward to trying it!

We used it once and works. The last similar model we bought lasted 1.5 yrs and the burner quit working and Char broil not longer makes that replacement part - simply terrible. I am hoping this one last much longer. If not, I'll have to go back to gas.

Haven't used it yet. Had some trouble with 4 screws that I believe need to be drilled in. You should correct that one thing. Pulling the side handles need a better connection.

Disappointed, difficult getting a sear on both sides of steak, oiled the grill but stir sticks bad, difficult to clean afterwards

On a maximum setting I got my steaks barely to cook
